Calgary Flames vs. San Jose Sharks Prediction
I’m on the Flames here. I want to take my chances on a home dog in spots but the Sharks are in a funk where providing value is not something that’s happening right now as they’re getting crushed far more often than not, being outscored 26-8 during this five-game losing streak. The Flames are far from a world-beater on the road, but they’ve had a tremendous amount of head-to-head success in this matchup and I think they get the win in this one to keep their playoff hopes alive for another day. Give me Calgary.
